Description
Three zippered pockets and a snap-closed inner pocket fold down into a slim wallet that holds cards, cash, phone, and small essentials. Carry it as a clutch, wear it around the waist or over the shoulder with the optional adjustable strap, or drop it into a larger bag as a purse organizer.

Why You'll Love This Pattern
Foldilocks packs a lot into a small footprint. Zippered pockets on the front and back keep cards and cash separated, while the inner pocket closes with a hidden magnetic snap so nothing slips out. The whole wallet folds flat and stays slim, then expands when you need the room.
Two sizes and an optional carrying strap make it easy to set up the way you like. Add the strap and wear it hands-free, leave it off for a tidy clutch, or tuck it inside a tote to corral the small stuff. Tool-Free Snaps install without special tools, so the hardware goes in quickly.
